Chapter 157: Reward to Zhixia

"This story has been changed so that my own mother no longer recognizes it." Gu Xiaoyou complained after reading a few chapters.

She shook her head in a funny way and was about to put "King Cao's Love" back when she suddenly thought of something and took down the second volume from the bookshelf.

"Wrap it up for me and put it in the account." Gu Xiaoyou put the two books on the counter and ordered.

"Yes." The waiter responded and immediately packed it for her.

Gu Xiaoyou carried the packed books and left the book club briskly.

As the sun set, a carriage arrived at the mansion in the twilight.

"Miss, we're here," the coachman said, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, hung it on the hook, and opened the carriage door.

Then the coachman put down the carriage's pedals and waited respectfully aside.

The coachman did all this neatly, stretched out a white and tender catkin from the carriage, and held it on the door frame of the carriage. Gu Xiaoyou, who was wearing a flowing bun, poked her head out, revealing a beautiful face.

Pleasant little face.

Gu Xiaoyou stepped out of the carriage with her skirt in hand and said, "I got home so soon today."

Zhou got off the car from behind Gu Xiaoyou, reached out to help her, and replied with a smile: "There are few cars on the road today."

"Everything went smoothly today." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"Yes, today's profit is also good." Mrs. Zhou thought about today's accounts, her eyes filled with smiles.

Gu Xiaoyou joked: "The book club's business is good, why are you happier than me, the boss?"

"Just laugh at people. The book club has invested so much, how can I be unhappy?" Mrs. Zhou pinched Gu Xiaoyou's arm and said angrily.

"Oh, Sister Zhou, why are you educating me like you educate Liang'er now?" Gu Xiaoyou pursed her lips, pretending to be aggrieved.

"You are more naughty than Liang'er." Mrs. Zhou tapped the tip of Gu Xiaoyou's nose and said dotingly.

"Hehe." Gu Xiaoyou winked playfully and made a face at Mrs. Zhou.

The two of them came to the main hall while chatting and laughing, had dinner with Liang'er, and then went back to their rooms.

As soon as Gu Xiaoyou returned to the room, Zhixia came up to him and asked softly: "Miss, did you have a hard day today? Do you need a slave to squeeze your shoulders?"

"Don't rush to squeeze your shoulders yet, help me prepare hot water, I will take a good bath."

Gu Xiaoyou ordered, and after Zhixia left, he put the paper bags he had packed during the day on the table, hummed a tune and prepared to take a bath.

Soon the hot water was ready. Gu Xiaoyou changed her clothes through the screen, tested the water temperature, and stretched her legs into the tub.

There were petals floating on the water. Gu Xiaoyou smelled the fragrance and leaned against the bucket with enjoyment, humming happily and splashing water on her body from time to time.

When the soak was almost done, Gu Xiaoyou called out: "Zhixia, help me rub my back."

"Hey, the slave is here." Zhixia appeared quickly behind the screen as if she had ears.

She put jasmine-flavored soap on the loofah, made it soft, and then gently placed it on Gu Xiaoyou's back to wipe her body.

"Is this intensity appropriate, Miss?"

"Very good, wipe to the left." Gu Xiaoyou replied comfortably, lying on the edge of the tub.

"Yes." Zhixia responded and rubbed Gu Xiaoyou's back carefully.

After Zhixia put down the loofah and washed her hands, Gu Xiaoyou took the water ladle and slowly poured water on her body.

"Miss, please come as a slave." Zhixia said softly.

"No need." Gu Xiaoyou said casually, pretending to suddenly remember something, and smiled: "By the way, there is a paper package on the table. Open it for me and bring it over."

"Yes, slave girl, go right away." Zhixia responded, walking around the screen towards the table.

Gu Xiaoyou listened to the sound of the paper bag being opened, quietly raised the corner of his mouth, and deliberately urged: "Have you got it?"

"I got it, it's two books."

"Then come in and register."

"Yes." Zhixia quickly walked behind the screen with a book.

Gu Xiaoyou splashed some water on her body, raised her eyebrows and said, "Read it."

"Okay." Zhixia was a little surprised that Miss Gu suddenly became enlightened tonight and ordered her around everywhere.

Somewhat happy, yet somewhat confused, he opened the book and Zhixia read aloud: "It is said that there is a wealthy family named Wang in Lingyun County... An official came to the county, his surname is Cao..."

As Zhixia read, she felt that the names of the people in the play were very familiar. She did not bother to continue reading, and hurriedly flipped through the content at the back. Her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Miss, is this your previous story?"

?It’s about Miss Wang and Master Cao?”

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"Miss, do you still remember?" Zhixia asked happily.

"Yes, here's the reward I promised you last time." Gu Xiaoyou replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss." Zhixia looked at the book in her hand excitedly, then thought of the next volume on the table, and asked excitedly: "Has the ending of the story been revealed?"

"Yes, it's in the next volume." As soon as Gu Xiaoyou finished speaking, he saw Zhixia running toward the table with her skirt in hand, and then heard several excited exclamations.

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head, got up from the bathtub and wiped himself with a towel. As soon as he put on his middle coat, he heard a few rapid footsteps.

Looking back, she saw Zhixia pulling up her skirt nervously and looking at Gu Xiaoyou apologetically: "Miss, I have lost my temper. I am here to serve you."

"No, you go read a book." Gu Xiaoyou pulled the towel and said while wiping her hair.

"Let me help you wipe your hair." Zhixia stepped forward and took the handkerchief and wiped Gu Xiaoyou's hair skillfully.

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou didn't refuse anymore, sat on the chair and let Zhixia do what she did.

Zhixia carefully wrung Gu Xiaoyou's hair dry, took a comb from the dressing table, and combed Gu Xiaoyou's hair. While combing it, she asked: "Miss, many parts of the story I read are different from what you wrote.

Did you change it again?"

"I haven't changed it, I just asked the storyteller to change it into a more acceptable language." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Oh." Zhixia responded thoughtfully. He kept moving his hands and said after a while: "Now that you say this, I will find that this book is indeed easier to understand."

"That proves that they have made the change very successfully." Gu Xiaoyou smiled, seeing Zhixia glancing in the direction of the table from time to time, and took the comb in a funny way: "Okay, you go read a book, I will comb my hair and then go to bed.

"

Zhixia smiled shyly: "Thank you, miss. I will leave first."

Zhixia greeted Gu Xiaoyou with a faint blush on her face, picked up the book from the table, bowed to Gu Xiaoyou again, then turned and left.

"It's really interesting." Gu Xiaoyou shook his head and chuckled, combed his hair, blew out the candles and lay down on the bed, sleeping comfortably...
